BOY SCOUTS HAVE HIKE OF 20 MILES Troop 4 Hns High Spots in Good Friday Stroll One ot tempted by a longest hik New Brituin Boy scout troop was carrled out yesterday by Troop 4. The boys set out at 7 o'clock {n the morning under the di- rection of istant Scoutmas Leon Bradley, taking the train to Eristol and then the trolley to Ter- ryville. From there they struck off atoot for Tories' Den, but Junior As- sistant Scoutmaster Bliss Clark, who was master of itinerary, was so in- terested in a game he was direeting that he took the wrong road and the troop swung back on to the main road. Striking oft in a new direction, the troop struggled over mud-covered roads until noon, @ halt was made on a hiilside dinner, After the meal, it was announced that the Wapiti patrol, largely dus to the keen eyes of Davis, had won the observation game and would receive 10 points on the merit sys- tem. A game of capture the flag was pluyod, but the territo was 80 | and mountainous that ncither team could reach its opponents’ ban- ner and get ay with it. The march was resumed and the troop arrived in Waterbury shortly atter 4 o'clock, having made at least 20 miles, not counting the running done in the games. The return trip was by train. The regular evening mecting of the | troop was omitted, A new troop has been formed at the Church of St. John the Evangel ist, the membership being fixed temporarily at 20 Dboys until these can learn the tricks of scouting. Ar-| thur Gaudette, a member of the fire | department, is scoutmaster. Camp Keemosahbee, the camp of the local council, s been advanced | from a “C" to a “B” rating by na- tional headquarters. The former| rating showed it was approved, while the new one signifies its cellence. Few camps attain an “A" rating, and the local officials are ex- ulting. After one year at the present site, it is hoped to purchase a permanent camp ground. Dooklets for the coming season will be out in a week or two, and a rush of appli- cants is expected. S Executive rmon A. H. Scott ce, and when for W. 0. Cook, of the camp- istant Camp James Beach and Charles will ropresent the local council at the New England regional camp conference in Springfield, Mass., Monday and Tuesday.

Weiant Discusses Communication By Mr. Bishop. f ditor New Britain Herald:— In answer to Mr. Bishop's com- Imunication in the IHerald of Thurs- lday night, T would say in the fir hlace that the slogan of a plumber s he calls it (for the sake of the bublic health) is about the best thing that the public has “had in vears, and with the the board of health, they have llnlaced New Britain in the best san- itary condition possible. The plumb- ors, with the assistance of the board of health, have been years in trying to get the sanitary conditions of the ity of New Britain in the shape it is in today, and are not expected to ktand by and see some one come in lind tear down in a week what has taken years to build up. It may be that his idea of ary plumbing is the old closed up plack sinks with vermin running hround underncath, and he also brobably thinks it s the pYoper khing to pollute all tho fresh water streams of the country, which the blumber is also fighting. He mentions the h r cost of plumb- | ng materials. Now T wonder if he the difference in the kind and are using and the kind used a go? I tlvm)\ not; better te Dbefore you compare orices. He might investigate somo )t the old hot s to plumbing, [(which probably does not interest | him) and then go in a few of the nod rn ones, and T think he would s well worth the difference st of the new, over the old ¢ plumbing. am going to cite a few items that £o to make up the increased lcost. of plumbing. In the first T lyou can't sell a black iron sink now. The most inexpensive house demands firon cnamel goods ut. They used nse woc toilet tanks. Try sell now They something th ts sanita 1ul in copper tubs lvet around in old hc hew ones. Wo wa not backward. We classes of people want terinl 1 heapest). Tk at will last.
